I saw the commercial and they look like they can really stretch long and I think that they would be a nice addition to my collection. STOM, can u please give me the info? Thanks.

good luck finding any that will still stretch - they are unbelievably fragile - i have 6 or so and everyone of them has splits and cracks and the dust inside is coming out - i tried to repair them with super glue but to no avail

According to the box...... the strecth wrestlers can stretch about 4 times their original size.
But..... they're over 20 years old and very fragile....... I am not trying this as I am 100% positive that they will rip apart.

I repaired him with a piece of fleshcolored bandaid I used the same thing to repair my Stretchy Luger and Hart from 94 it worked great on topic I never had any of the LJN Strechies so I'm not sure how much they could strech but I know the ones from 94 (as far as I can remember it's been a long time) could stretch to some where around 3 feet from tip of hand to tip of hand I don't think hardly any of these have lasted long I think the Strechers are a good idea on paper but when it comes to actualy making them things just didn't work out. |

The seller said they were stored properly.
How would you store them properly besides keeping them in the box?
Keep them below a certain temp, I guess.
I only ever had the Piper one, and it broke after 5 years.
I never played with it... just kept it in the box.

You''re right, the way to store those would be in the original box, away from sunlight and avoiding high temperatures. I had some I played with as a kid and they did stretch as advertised. But they also deteriorated at the "joints"(underarms and elbows mainly) and leaked all of the sand years ago. The only one I have left that is still intact is Ricky Steamboat, and I'm practically afraid to touch it because it's so fragile. These were just not made to be collectibles.
